ehernandez@stbenedictelementary.com Mrs. Hernandez is originally from Apple Springs, Texas was inspired to become a teacher by her mother and grandmother, “both teachers with so much love and wisdom to share.” She likes to travel, play basketball, and knit. Mrs. Hernandez feels strongly that “history and philosophy should inform our approach to every academic discipline- especially science!" She loves SBCA because "the fabric of our school-day is richly woven with prayer, music, artwork, poetry, and inspiring stories of saints and other heroes.” An exciting project she's working on this year: "This year my students are keeping nature journals. Twice a month we go explore the banks of the Charles River or the beautiful gardens at Elm Bank. Students are learning to carefully observe and render the fascinating plants and animals they find in nature."
